SPRAYING INDOOR. PLANTS 



For spraying and watering plants indoors and out the year round the 

 Lenox Sprayer is one of the most serviceable inventions of years for 

 the house and garden. House plants generally suffer from lack of moisture, 

 such as the rain or the morning dew supplies them. This Sprayer produces 

 a misty shower that supplies the want of the plant most naturally and com- 

 pletely — as is absolutely necessary to real success with house plants. 



Spraying for insects and dust, it reaches every part of the plant over and 



under the leaves, where insects live and breed. Spraying with a few drops 



of ammonia in the water or tobacco soap suds will surely kill the insects 



and help the plants to bloom. It is used effectively on rose bushes and all shrubbery in the flower garden. 



"9 r tivo-cent Sent complete, with a. cake of tobacco soap free,

all you send to us.

How to Grow Narcissus Paper- 



White Grandiflora in Water 



A VERY unique, simple, and novel way to grow this variety 

 of Narcissus is to place six or eight bulbs in a shallow glass 

 or china bowl with water. Support the bulbs with pebbles or 

 gravel as you would the Chinese Sacred Lily bulbs; place the 

 bowl in a dark place until the roots have started, when you should 

 bring them to the light. Keep the bowls filled with water and 

 the bulbs will take care of themselves. You will have a beauti- 

 ful and luxuriant display of delightfully fragrant flowers in a 

 short time — in fact within six 



GROWN IN SOIL 



weeks after planting if de- 

 sired. The flowers are nearly 

 two inches across, a dozen 

 or more in a cluster, and are 

 in no way inferior to those 

 grown in garden soil. A num- 

 ber of bowls planted in suc- 

 cession of two weeks apart 

 will give a beautiful display of 

 flowers all winter.

each pier, with the top stone work built over 

 them to prevent slipping; and on this double- 

 branch support other straight saplings were 

 laid across the pergola, from ten to twelve 

 inches apart, to form a rustic roof. 



Such a pergola might be constructed at 

 slight expense where there are no left-overs 

 to supply the bulk of the material, wherever 

 the soil of the home grounds is rocky; as the 

 rough field stone is quite as satisfactory as 

 picked quarry stone, when proportions and 

 construction are on stately lines. Good larch 

 poles are the best material for the rustic roof- 

 ing, as the hard wood withstands the weather, 

 and the long branches are comparatively 

 straight. Phebe Westcott Humphreys.

Make Chili Sauce of Your Surplus 

 Tomatoes 



ANY rule for pickle that gives small 

 enough proportions to use up the odds 

 and ends of vegetables, as they accumulate, 

 is a useful addition to the family cook book. 

 This recipe for chili sauce, which originated 

 in our own family, calls for vegetables that 

 are to be found in any garden at this season, 

 and in such quantities as can be conveniently 

 handled with other work. A jar or two, 

 made every few days during the tomato 

 season, will give a good supply for winter 

 use. 



Three quarts mashed ripe tomatoes, six 

 medium-sized green peppers, four white 

 onions, one heaping cup of sugar, one-half 

 cup of salt, two cups of vinegar, one even 

 tablespoonful of cinnamon, one-eighth tea- 

 spoonful cayenne pepper, one-half even 

 tablespoonful cloves and allspice mixed. 



Skin the tomatoes before mashing. Chop 

 the peppers and onions, but it is not neces- 

 sary that they be chopped very fine. If the 

 pickle is wanted quite sweet more sugar 

 will be needed. Unless the vinegar is sharp, 

 more may be required to make it sour enough. 

 Use ground spices in each case. Boil slowly 

 for three hours. This will make between 

 one and two quarts when finished. The 

 same rule makes good catsup if six cups of 

 vinegar instead of two are used. This sauce 

 can be made any time of year that green 

 peppers are in market by using canned 

 tomatoes, and is, of course, less trouble than 

 the other way. We have made our pickle 

 according to this rule for a number of seasons, 

 and it has always kept perfectly until we used 

 it up the following summer. It has also met 

 with great approval on the part of our friends.
